JK Maths





This week we completed a very tricky Math activity. The children coloured their number cards, then using very precise and slow cutting techniques they cut all of them out carefully. Then we put them in order and discussed the sequence of numbers. Finally we glued them together. The children worked hard at this activity and used all their patience to cut on the lines just right. We are very proud of them!

Our JK class has been working very hard learning their new sight words this week. We have been writing our sight words, reading them on flash cards, finding them using our special magical pointing stick on the sight word chart and even trying to make the letters with our bodies!
We even have our very own Dino Sight Word Book where we practice our sight words every day! We will be reading in no time :)

Winter Wonderland

Today in Art class, the Pre K's made a Winter Wonderland scene, together as a class. First we made four different shades of blue by adding some white paint into the containers. When we each had a turn stirring the paint, we saw the blue paint getting lighter. Our second job was to cover a large piece of paper in the blue paint. Afterwards, our teacher helped us cut snowflakes, and we also made a snowman! We hope you'll like our Winter Wonderland!

Winter Crafts

During our first week back at school, all of the children were excited to do more crafts and talk about their Winter Break. Some children said that their favourite part of Winter Break was playing in the snow! Then we decided to cut out some hats and mittens and decorate them. The children enhanced their fine motor skills as they glued and cut the foam pieces onto their hat. They were also using their creative skills since they came up with the idea of putting a cotton ball at the top of their hat to make it look like a pom pom. Everyone had a fun time!

JK Literacy

This week we began our adventure into sight words. The children have been reviewing their phonics and vowel sounds and we have now moved onto sight words. This week we are focusing on learning 4 common words that we see in text often. We are using cards, letter tiles, making the words out of materials and also our sight word board. We are doing a great job!
